Sepik River Hook Mug - from the Eight Part Tiki Set - by Lokena

in 0 collections

Suspension hooks were commonly used in the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea. Used to hang bags, baskets, and other containers, these hooks helped to keep food and other important articles safe and out of reach. This hook is figuratively carved as a tiki.

This is one tumbler out of a series of 8 pieces by Lokena with an orange/brown background and hand-painted tiki on the front.
